Coach Talk

Cincinnati Bengals
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Cincinnati Bengals. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Darren Waller, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Burrow), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. Try those shenanigans next week against Chicago Bears and we'll be toast.
Pit Steelers (ZS)
Your quarterback threw one interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Patriots truly that great against the pass, or was Kyler Murray just that shaky in the pocket? This is the sort of decision you'll have to make, Pit Steelers (ZS), as you set your lineup for Week 13 and beyond!
